Re: A unique Fw 190 D-9 shot!
Initial GFW production batch D-9 equipped flat 122 type canopy, such as 600150, and several other samples with unknown W.Nr.
Considering monthly GFW production (1:Oct.44, 40:Nov.44, 105: Dec.44, 34 Jan.45, from the SAF4) 600150 probably completed in late Nov.44.
The GFW bird on the front line seems like equipping blown 1025 type canopy, almost likely completed in very late Nov. or Dec.44.
Therefore, this photograph was taken in mid or late Dec.44, I suppose.
If the photograph was taken in autumn, both types of canopies were applied since initial GFW production.
